Round Cooling Towers
At FinFan Cooler, our Induced Draft Counterflow Cooling Towers (ICT)—commonly known as round cooling towers or bottle-type cooling towers—are engineered to provide highly efficient cooling for industrial recycled process water. Designed for high-performance applications, these towers offer reliable cooling where water must be reduced from temperatures as high as 50°C down to 4°C, depending on the region’s prevailing wet-bulb temperature.
Key Features & Design Principles
Efficient Cooling Process
Our round cooling towers are engineered to cool large volumes of process water efficiently. Hot water enters through the bottom inlet and collects in the sump. It is then pumped upward to a mechanical rotary sprinkler mounted above the PVC fill media. This ensures uniform water distribution across the fill for optimal heat dissipation.
Sprinkler Mechanism
The mechanical rotary sprinkler operates using water pressure. Its extended arms with precision-designed orifices distribute water evenly across the fill media. This creates fine water droplets, significantly increasing surface area and improving heat transfer efficiency.
Induced Draft Airflow
A directly coupled motor and fan system creates a powerful induced-draft airflow. The fan draws air from the lower intake louvers and forces it upward through the fill. As the air passes through the water film, it absorbs latent heat and evaporates a small portion of the water, producing rapid cooling.
Efficient Heat Transfer with Honeycomb PVC Fill
FinFan Cooler round cooling towers feature high-performance honeycomb PVC fill. Benefits include:
- Increased surface contact area
- High thermal efficiency
- Enhanced heat exchange per unit volume
- Compact, efficient cooling performance
The varying flute design further improves water-air contact and maximizes cooling output.
Re-Circulation and Moisture Control
Cooled water collects in the sump and is recirculated back into the industrial system. Moist, warm air rises through the fan deck and is safely discharged into the atmosphere. This creates a continuous, efficient cooling cycle with minimal water loss.
Advantages of Round Cooling Towers (ICT)
Compact Design
The round or bottle-type shape ensures:
- Minimal footprint
